Question:
I have had cheek implants and I am extremely happy with the results. I would like non-surgical rhinoplasty and neck liposuction. Can I get both of these procedures on the same day?
Answer:
I am happy that you are pleased with your cheek implants. There is no problem with getting non-surgical rhinoplasty and neck liposuction on the same day. The only issue is whether you are an appropriate candidate for either of these procedures. I would strongly suggest a consultation so that we can discuss in detail the procedures you have mentioned and your expectations with regards to surgical outcome. Both of these procedures provide a great deal of patient satisfaction with little risk or recovery time. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed with the use of dermal fillers such as, Juvederm and Restylane. The procedure works very well to smooth out the bridge of your nose and even better to correct small imperfections of your nose that have occurred naturally, from prior trauma, and especially from prior surgery. Neck liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia but, I would recommend a mild sedative. I am currently using the SlimLipo laser lipolysis technology which has increased my ability to tighten the skin of the neck while removing fat.
